What sparked this admiration? It was Mahomes\u2019 savvy move during a Time Magazine interview, where he tactfully sidestepped endorsing any presidential candidate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/6cbcb372-yagya-fis-27.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Super Bowl Champ Patrick Mahomes Applauded for Avoiding Public Stance on US  Presidential Race 2024 - The SportsRush\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-2\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Jason Whitlock found Mahomes\u2019 stance refreshingly mature, as it was in contrast with his past instances. Whitlock believed that when Mahomes waded into contentious issues like the \u201cColin Kaepernick thing\u201d and the \u201cGeorge Floyd thing\u201d in the past, it brought him more criticism than praise.<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-3\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><em>\u201cPatrick Mahomes has pivoted I think a little bit because, I think, for a (while) he tried to go woke. The George Floyd thing he got caught up in, the Colin Kaepernick thing. But he has now steered to a more authentic place<\/em>,\u201d Jason added, \u201c<em>I like this Patrick Mahomes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-4\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Time Magazine\u00a0asked Patrick Mahomes about his stance in the upcoming Presidential elections following his support for LeBron James\u2019 \u201cMore Than A Vote\u201d campaign in 2020. It aimed at boosting African American voter turnout. In response, Mahomes said,<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-5\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president. I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-6\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">The decision for pro athletes to engage in politics is definitely personal; However, Jason Whitlock\u2019s point sparks a debate.<\/p>\n<h2>Should Athletes like Patrick Mahomes Delve Into Publicly Expressing Their Political Opinions?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Patrick Mahomes PASSES on Politics, 2024 Presidential Election\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zn-YZCBJJkg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-7\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">There can never be a definitive answer to the problem at hand. The debate about athletes sharing political opinions versus focusing solely on sports is more than just complex. On one hand, athletes like Patrick Mahomes,\u00a0Tom Brady, and LeBron James have accumulated a huge fanbase. And with it comes the great responsibility of shining a light on social and political issues that matter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-8\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">So, by getting involved, athletes can advocate for change. But here\u2019s the thing: most athletes end up getting involved in political activities and influencing their fans in a specific direction, either left or right. And it definitely rubs some fans the wrong way, especially if the particular athlete does controversial things or supports controversial people. One of the prime examples is former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. It took just taking a knee during the national anthem to get himself ousted from the league.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-9\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Case in point, athletes do have the right to freedom of speech, which allows them to address significant social and political matters. But the worry that diving into politics might divide their fanbase will never go away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"chapters-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent episode of the \u201cFEARLESS\u201d podcast, Jason Whitlock couldn\u2019t help but commend Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
